a) then why cover it? b) twitter, reddit, company contact page? People might be reluctant to take interviews because (from personal experience) reporters are often accusatory, looking for a sensational angle, haven't done homework.

Hi Jesse, given I used all options you mentioned under b), and was given email addresses of executives at Kraken who would help me further, but who have subsequently not replied to any of my emails, I take it all those will now be answered?

Probably depends on what your question was. If it was something like "I'm running this story tomorrow about how Kraken's CEO is an alien vampire unless you prove otherwise.", you shouldn't expect a response.

Yes, I would be here on Twitter stating I didn't get a response back from Kraken if I it was about an alien story. Let's make it simple, you know the Bloomberg article on your USDT/USD pair well, I asked questions on the data it used and on getting Kraken’s view on it.

My views on that article in general are here: twitter.com/erjeetjeh/stat, also linked in the same email. You can see there and in replies, focusing on the data, not the line of the Bloomberg article. Genuine, normal, relevant questions. No response. Want me to state them here?

So today’s article by @mattleising on Tether and Kraken is really interesting. I love the data analysis approach. For me, the big question is the recurring numbers. Who is doing this and why? Who benefits? bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-

Sure, but that's not the point here. Jesse makes a statement regarding reporting and I am responding from experience regarding Kraken. I didn't complain about getting no response before to Kraken. In light of that statement, I would say it's fair to point out Kraken accessibility

Anyway maybe we need a Yelp of crypto founders: who are the ones who respond to media inquiries and who don’t and then rant on twitter later?

There is some excellent coverage of the space, but it's the exception. The problem is all the bad reporting, and parroting of bad reporting, especially in mainstream/major pubs. The blind leading the blind. This is not serving the public's interest.
